Marshall Leasing welcomes back Mel Mizen

Marshall Leasing are delighted to announce the return to our business of Mel Mizen, whose career in the motor and transport industries spans over 35years.  Mel started with a role as an apprentice Motor Vehicle Technician, working on Range Rover, Rolls Royce and finally Mercedes Benz. He is a qualified vehicle technician with MOT tester accreditation. Mel then moved to Marshall Leasing where he worked as our Operations Manager. After 13 years he then became the Group Transport Manager for one of the UK's largest privately owned builder's merchants. This role entailed Mel being responsible for a fleet of 150 commercial vehicles (80 vehicles fitted with lorry loader cranes), 110 company cars, 250 forklift trucks and numerous items of plant equipment and lifting equipment across 22 branches within East Anglia.
 
He was then offered a position at Aviva to become a fleet risk consultant with Aviva Risk Management Solutions Ltd (ARMS).  Mel was their Corporate National Fleet Risk Consultant.  This role covered the whole of the UK and involved supporting corporate clients, national brokers and underwriters on fleet risk management, fleet management, advanced vehicle technology (cameras & telematics) and client risk evaluation methods, including claims defensibility.  Other areas of support included H&S legislation compliance and Operator Licence compliance and management.
 
His final role before returning to Marshall Leasing was as the Business Development Manager for VUE Ltd (advanced vehicle technology, ie: telematics and vehicle cameras).  Mel worked closely with fleet operators to identify their road risk exposure and introduce intervention measures to reduce the risk exposure and improve overall fleet performance and ensuring a return on investment, including potential fuel savings.  This included systems implementation, training and on-going support.  He was also responsible for gaining their JAUPT Driver CPC accreditation and FORS membership.
 
Outside of work Mel is a keen follower of Peterborough United and enjoys fly fishing.
